The Gunnison Parks & Recreation CARA Gymnastics TEAM is focused on
individual progression and achievement, along with team building, team
progression, team achievements, and encouragement. We work together
in practice and at meets, encouraging and helping each other throughout
the season. You will find positive words around the gym that we strive to
live by each day, in order to make the gym a safe and inviting place of
acceptance.
Inspiration
Respect
Confidence
Courage
Passion
Dedication
Cooperation
Determination
Support
These words are referenced every day in practice. We encourage the girls
to keep them in mind and to keep the gym feeling like a community. We
want the gym to be a safe place for all. We strive to be there for the girls,
in and out of the gym. We cannot wait to see how well the girls do this
season and recognize them for their efforts.
Love Your Coaches,
Sam, Keli, Kailyn & Zoe
Gymnasts should plan to attend and be committed to every practice during the competition
season (January—July)
It is appreciated if advanced notice of practice absences are communicated with Coaches.
We understand last minute sickness, but known absences should be communicated.
Gymnasts attitude is key to success in the gym and at meets. If attitude becomes a
problem, it will 1st be addressed with the gymnast, and if it continues to be problematic a
parent meeting will be set up. This program is not designed to keep any gymnast
practicing/competing if they are not interested and/or disrespectful.
NO GUM
Hair tied UP, or BACK for every practice. Leo or tight shirt & shorts/pants for every
practice. No baggy clothing.
Bring WATER for every practice, and EAT before practice.
Injuries that happen outside of the gym need to be discussed/disclosed with a
coach BEFORE practice starts. If a gymnastics cannot participate in parts or all of
gymnastics workouts due to injury, a parent MUST communicate this with coaches.
If a doctors note restricts your gymnast from participating, a doctors note is needed
when the gymnast is cleared to participate again!
Must attend 2 out of the 3 meets per season. MUST attend the practice BEFORE a
meet to compete in the meet. Communication with coaches must happen 2 weeks before
missing a pre-meet practice.
Gymnasts need to show up to the meet dressed out with hair up ready to go
30 minutes prior to the scheduled “warm up time”. If sessions end early, the following
session will start sooner than the scheduled time.
*Meet time changes will be communicated on the Facebook page as coaches have
time to do so*
Gymnasts should have ALL food/snacks and water with them during a meet. They will
not be able to visit parents during their competitions.
Gymnasts are required to stay with the team and pay attention to event rotations during
the meet. Coaches will direct gymnasts, but it is the responsibly of the gymnast to follow
directions .
Information Board outside of the Gym
There is a bulletin board outside of the Gymnastics Room at the Rec Center.
This board will have Meet Schedules (as they become available), Meet
Scores, and other important reminders.
CHECK IT OUT!
Meet Schedules
Meet Schedules are posted on the Gunnison Parks & Rec CARA website, on
our Information board outside of the Gym. Host Gyms are supposed to get
their schedules out at least one week prior to the meet.
Facebook Page
Check out our Facebook page: Gunnison CARA Gymnastics for updates on
meet start times (if they change from the posted schedules), fun photos &
videos, and other important program info. PLEASE feel free to post any
pictures or videos on this page!
Fundraising & Sponsorship
The CARA team will fundraise throughout the summer to help offset uniform
costs, and help purchase equipment and matting needed for this higher level
of gymnastics. We encourage ALL CARA gymnasts to get involved with the
fundraising as it helps build team morale and helps each gymnast in their use
of the gym equipment. We will communicate Fundraising events as they are
confirmed.
Parks & Recreation also has sponsorship opportunities available to individuals
and business to support the CARA Program.
Routines & Scoring
Watching your gymnast in practice and at meets can be a confusing thing
when you are not a gymnast yourself or even if you were and it has “been a
few years” since your competition days. We encourage you to talk with your
gymnast about their routines and what they need to work on to progress. If
you are still confused about those routines and meet scoring, we ask that you
arrange a time (not before or after practice and/or meets!) to talk with coaches
about routine or scoring particulars. Please remember that for scoring specific
questions, sometimes we are at the mercy of specific judges that change
meet to meet and sometimes the routine could be a carbon copy from meet to
meet and the scores will still fluctuate!Mandate Procedures
Compulsory Gymnasts:
A level 3 compulsory gymnast who scored a 34.00 all around twice during
the season may not compete in level 3 the following season.
A level 4 compulsory gymnast who scored a 33.00 all around twice during
the season may not compete Level 4 the following season.
Super Catagory – Any gymnasts that scores the above (regional qualifying)
scores two times during the season, will be put in the Super Category for
regionals and state. They will compete against other “super gymnasts.”
Optional Gymnasts:
In order to be mandated to a higher competitive level, a gymnast must fall
into at least one of the following situation categories. Each team is
responsible for monitoring and moving their gymnasts throughout the
regular season in accordance with the mandate procedure. Any gymnast
that has not been moved during the regular season will be mandated to
her appropriate level at the regional meet by the league. All of the
gymnasts’ current season scores are used to determine her level, even if
her level changes more than once in a single season. A gymnast’s level will
not change from the Regional to the State meet.
*Situation One: Mandate by Event:
In the event that a gymnast, in an assigned optional level, scores equal to
or greater than a higher competitive level qualifying score in 3 events,
twice during the regular season, that competitor will be assigned to the
higher skill level. This mandate situation does not have to occur in the
same meet or congruent meets. If mandated to upper level in at least
three events and had qualified all around in lower level they may compete
all around in new level.
*Situation Two: Mandate By All-Around:
In the event that a gymnast, in assigned optional level, scores equal to or
greater than a higher competitive level all around regional qualifying score,
twice during the regular qualifying season, that competitor will be assigned
to the higher skill level.Mandate Procedures Continued
*Situation Four: Mandate to Open division 5:
If an optional gymnast scores the All Around score of 34.00 twice in the
regular season, they are moved up to optional 5 for the Regional and
State competition. The three event rule is also applicable to mandating to
Optional 5's. If an Optional 5 scores a 34.5 all around score at Regionals,
they will go to State in all around regardless of their placing at Regionals.
If they receive and individual even qualifying score at Regionals, they will
also qualify for the state meet.
*Situation Five: All Around Mandates after season (regular sea-
son mandates still apply):
The top All around scores for each Optional gymnast will be collected af-
ter each competitive season. The athletes will then be ranked according
to score and the following policies will be in place.State Qualifying Scores
